CHICAGO, August a-The lack OF new fea-
lures TO influence prices on Change to-day
made the session thoroughly unexcitinH. Corn
entertained tho largest crowd OF operatorA
but there WAS no. the volume OF trading tbat
was seen last week, and tho general trade wes
as timid about getting short ON corn as ABOUT
getting long wheat lt was the prevalent
idea that one would make more money by
waiting than by trading. No rains Of any con-
sequence were reported In tho corn osic Tho
market opened unsettled and about &c. higher
than Saturday. Closing prc.s nac,uatod
within NC. range and closed hsse higher
Than Saturday. Tho situation In wheat
continues peculiar one. The visible
supply figures showed an increase OF only
$4,000. when many looked for i.Ooo,0Oo bushels
increase. Tho seaboard cities showed exports
OF over 6OO.O00 bushels for fcrty-etght hours.
The amount In etore In Chicago showed a re-
duction Of about 10000 bushels Prices closed
for the first week Of the month at points where
buying might be expected. AZ this point pus
fO.0C0 bushels were received, while $4,000
bushels were shipped With all these facts TO
consider September wheat opened "A IL closod
Saturday, at Coo. l. then eosed on about tc.,
but recovered later, advancing Aatc', ana
closed about MAKO. higher than saturday. Oats
had a rather better market all around. Inc
cash demand was good, and although Arrivals
were liberal, coDsiguments were taken ana
prices were the same 70 NC: nlgner - ~ sV ,ha

stimulating effect, and there was about hc. al
vance for near futures aud hasc. Improve
rens for May. In provisions only moderate
SPECULATIVE business was done; most OF tho
trading WAS strictly local. The feeling was
little stronger early, and prices were slightly
advanced. but during the latter part OF the sos
sIop tho market was easier aud tho greater
portion of the advance was lost, especially iot
all-tho- year deliveries.
